Yep, you are not mistaken. These little flowers are about as tall as me. These are some of our earliest flowers. Always a good sign that spring is coming.
Fast forward a month. Now it's early April and I am at an old ranch that is now a state park. The ranch is an old homestead and they planted a few trees along the creek. Some of the oaks are still around.
I call this place Little Fox's grotto. It's very peaceful here.
A nice collection of Lupine and Balsam Root.
Back at the ranch, a few weeks later. California Poppy have invaded. They spread pretty fast when they get started....invasive for us but the State flower of California (and illegal to pick in that state). A certain dog is attempting to photo bomb.
Away from the ranch but still in the same area. Flowers are slowly dying off...spring is almost over (this Picture from 5/19/21).
Lupine, an oak tree and...what another photobomb by Sequoia. This is MY blog....not his.
Sequoia is a little confused why someone would not want him in their blog. I guess I can't blame him for wanting to share the spotlight with me.
Perhaps we can hit DQ for a PupCup (a vanilla sundae, peanut butter, and two milkbones) or Starbucks for a Pupacino (whipped cream in a small cup...and one of the most popular items on the Starbucks secret menu) for Sequoia?
Spring is nearing an end.....bring on Summer!
Tell Sequoia to start his own blog :)
ReplyDeleteSpring is such a nice time of year. We have California Poppies up here too... invasive like for you! But they are beary pretty - ours go orange and yellow and some are even sort of whitish now.
ReplyDeleteSequoia is a handsome fellow and poses beary well... I don't know if he needs his own blog though. But... have you ever thought of strapping a saddle on him and having him carry you around?
How about a Foxacino?
ReplyDeleteA foxacino? Dang that a good idea.
ReplyDeleteThe secret menu... do they have any salmon ice cream?
ReplyDeleteI think so, it's a candied salmon. Would that work?
